[TV MAN]

I kinda had to put my tester resto on hold until I get my bench set up. I mentioned in another thread things took a detour, and my shop is becoming my sons room, so I am not going to tackle sneaking into that meter until I have my magnifying light and bench set up, some nice soothing music and lots of toothpicks .

Mike might have a point if that meter slams down to 0. May be time to check the cap on the meter. If it is a just a "fallback", that may be normal. I have been using this tester sitting on it's front so the meter doesn't stick. In that position, the meter needle "falls" back a lot harder then when I have it on it's back. I have another tester that I use some that I have to be careful when switching one of the controls because it likes to slam the needle. I had to figure out the best combination to minimize. Following the manual wasn't the best in this case. I'll have a thread on this also once I have my bench set up.
